Hey all!
If you didn't see the last two posts, I'm kicking up a new series to piggyback off the success of Dungeons/Lairs. This time it's called Dark Domains. It's my attempt at creating adventures based on the hooks from the new Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft book.
The two big winners the last times were the following prompts:

Hey all!
Looks like the prompt "Ghosts ask for the party's help when an alchemist discovers a way to "burn" spirits for fuel" is going to win the second Dark Domains Poll—it's currently leading by, like... a lot.
So that means it's time to start working on it. I've got about 38 locations to detail in this mine. I need YOU to help me come up with ideas what goes in each...

Hey all!
Following the success of the Dungeons & Lairs series, I thought I might work on another series of modules to spice things up a bit more. Like Dungeons & Lairs, these series will have adjustable levels so they can be played at any level. Likely, I'll stick around the level 1-10 mark as horror works best when the characters aren't superheroes. Still, it sh...

Adventurers love magic items. Which means all adventurers will eventually want to buy, sell, and trade magic items. But in 5E, that's easier said than done – especially for the GM!
Letting the characters shop for magic items usually entails several hours of tedious preparation just to figure out what's for sale and for how much – or resigning yourself to making it yet...

First, thank you to everyone who turned out for Monday night's How to Write for Fifth Edition class! We appreciate that so many people took the time to show up and participate. Unfortunately after having a meeting as a team and reviewing our upcoming workload we realized that we had over-committed. Rather than risk putting any of the upcoming releases or projects behind we decided to f...

To those of you who backed, thank you so much! It's been amazing! We can't wait to share with you everything we've done.
Pexia's Guide to Omeria wraps up at 1:00 pm CST today, so there are less than four hours to get onboard. From there, we'll open things up for pre-orders, but it won't be at the same discount as the Kickstarter. So make sure you get it now!
